Loss of an Important BlII.

At the last session of Congress the conference
ON the bill declaring forfeiture Of the lands
granted to the North Pacific Railroad Company
decided 10 report back a disagreement to their
respective houses, but up to this date no report
has been made. II is now learned that the
conference committee are not able to make
their reports owing to the fact that the bill
which, when last seen, was in the possession of
the House conferees, has been lost or mis-.
placed.
Search for the bill has been going on for
month. II 1t does not turn up soon steps will
which the house can reattach its amendments

"IT is time, high time, in fact" remarks
stalwart western Democratic editor, "for
the administration to NOV down all the
Republican ofliceholders whom a mistaken
policy has spared to this late day." If we
have been correctly advised as to the prob
abilities the husbandmen of this adminstra-
tion would prefer cradling to moving.

THE Sherman bill, providing that all per-
sons who are drawing pensions on account
OF loss Of limb or limbs shall be entitled TO
arrears from date OF discharge or disability
and covering the time up to the passage of
the act authorizing the issuance of their
last pension certificate at the same rate,
ought to become law. 1t calls for mani
fest and too long deferred justice.

PERHAPS the greatest of many great
demagogues in Congress is the one who, by
dint Of believing like bull of Bashan
against the "extortions of monopolies," I"
has acquired the reputation of great anti
monopoly leader, although he has con-
stantly demanded and used free passes on
all the leading railroads for himself and
family and has lodged every vote affecting
the interests OF railroads.

A VISITOR to the graveyard at Huntsville,
Tex, says that he found with difficulty the
grave OF Gen. Sam Houston. The spot is
marked by plain slab and there is NO
evidence about 1t of care and attention.
The great, growing, rich state of Texas
owes monument to Gen. Houston, or
rather, owes 1t to herself to erect monu-
ment TO his memory.

"CoUSTY option and local selfgovern-

cratic creed?

THE prevailing question before the country
now is, why should the Senate talk war when
the country is not in position to so to war
The best thing the country can do is to get into
that position without delay.-TrOy telegram.
And when she gets in that position she
will find herself in precisely the condition
most favorable to the maintenance of peace.
